Eternal Security Part 1

How sure can we be?
Absolutely 100%.

1 John 5:13 King James Version (KJV)

These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God;
that ye may know that ye have eternal life,
and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God.

ye may know

Forgiveness
Which of your sins were yet future at the cross?
All of them.

Faith Alone
No room for boasting in Heaven.

Unconditional Love
If there is a condition - even just one - attached to God's willingness to maintain a relationship with His children, then it is not unconditional.

Avoiding the traps of Legalism
A form of self-deception - We can't contribute to what Christ completed.
Pride

Focus on Christ
Philippians 4:8 King James Version (KJV)

Finally, brethren,
whatsoever things are true,
whatsoever things are honest,
whatsoever things are just,
whatsoever things are pure,
whatsoever things are lovely,
whatsoever things are of good report;
if there be any virtue,
and if there be any praise,
think on these things.

Colossians 3:2 King James Version (KJV)

Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth.

Hebrews 12:1-2 King James Version (KJV)

1 Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses,
let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us,
and let us run with patience the race that is set before us,
2 Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith;
who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame,
and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.

2 Corinthians 5:21 King James Version (KJV)

For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin;
that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.

Justification
Isaiah 53:10-11 King James Version (KJV)

10 Yet it pleased the Lord to bruise him; he hath put him to grief: when thou shalt make his soul an offering for sin, he shall see his seed, he shall prolong his days, and the pleasure of the Lord shall prosper in his hand.
11 He shall see of the travail of his soul, and shall be satisfied: by his knowledge shall my righteous servant justify many; for he shall bear their iniquities.

Eternal Redemption
Hebrews 9:11-12 King James Version (KJV)

11 But Christ being come an high priest of good things to come, by a greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands, that is to say, not of this building;
12 Neither by the blood of goats and calves, but by his own blood he entered in once into the holy place, having obtained eternal redemption for us.

Justified by Faith
Romans 5:1 King James Version (KJV)

Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ:

Jesus Christ paid our debt
for our sins, both past and future.

Justified by Faith
Romans 3:26-28 King James Version (KJV)

26 To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus.
27 Where is boasting then? It is excluded. By what law? of works? Nay: but by the law of faith.
28 Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law.

Dr. Earl Rademacher said...

I have been saved.
I am being saved.
I will be saved.

The Paradigm of Salvation

• Justification
  • Past tense
  • Separation from the Penalty of Sin.
    • The gift from God of everlasting life received by faith alone in Christ alone.
      John 3:18 5:24, Ephesians 2:5-8
• Sanctification
  • Present tense
  • Separation from the Power of Sin.
    • A work in progress that involves the faith and the works of the believer.
• Glorification
  • Future tense
  • Separation from the Presence of Sin.
    • The result of the previous aspects.
    • All believers will be glorified (resurrected and given a body like Christ), but some will have more glory (i.e. reward) than others.

Amen!
